Great Thank you

Once again, The Captain wins!
I knew attacking earlier as the Axis was a bad idea! At least all of Germany’s armies are still intact-not having all of them would be a disaster.
-
Heh heh pretty fun one going. Every time I think it’s game over, just play it out, look for triplea errors, the down team seems to rally lol
Granted this is only game 18 and i play against myself ( who isn’t a top player lol ) but it sure has some twists and turns. I’ve noticed this in the majority of games that went the distance.
Here in Early 43 JPN russia in a bad way.
By Late 44, even though the Wehrmacht forced a retreat to moscow, JPN Army has been pushed back on multiple fronts.
Anyway, we’ll see what happens, got 1 bug to fix ( PG Tac doesn’t get support by FTR ) but Should be done in a couple more days. Kriegsmarine went big with Carrier
So that probably slowed attack on the commies a bit. Patton did battle and he and Rommel both got slayed. Brits can reinforce russia now.
It seems a little weird, but I assume it’s correct, 2 INF from S AFR can RR to Yakut as long as there’s no interruption ?
Anyway, having fun

@the-captain In the Philippines photo above, there’s 1 blue plane, assume Naval FTR, a buncha silver ones, regular Ftrs, as some are on land and a P-38. Is that right ? If so, what’s the Pursuit 38 doing ? Yamamoto kill mission ? lol
-
Great game,
Yes - UK can send 2 Land Based units from South Africa into any territory in Asia, as long as there is a unbroken line of adjacent friendly territories from where the Land Based units begin and end their move.
-
@the-captain awesome. Russians and Englishman are best buddies now lol
-
We mostly see UK Tank units use Strategic Rail Movement into Soviet territories - as part of Lend-Lease.
When Germany or Italy attack the Soviet Union, UK has the option to send Lend-Lease Tank units by rail - in case that the United States are not ready to do so in time.
-
@the-captain sweet ! I hadn’t figured that one out yet : ) Right :muscle:
gonna be a big air battle coming up. Been some small ones but no ftr defense. Germany got 3 Bmbrs 3 FTRs and 2 Tacs, Soviets got 3 FTRs and a USA and UK FTR flying in. They’re down to 27 bucks, so I’m gonna roll those 5 4s and see what happens. Got a few Ftrs in the pipeline.
Actually, i just wanna do it. Be the first air battle : )
-
For that last question, yes. What does “PH tac” mean? Thank you! I feel so sad for the Japanese. The Soviets should sent all units to Belarus, that’ll be one exciting battle.
-
Did Churchill get replaced, or did he have a massive change of heart?
-
Only air units (hopefully) in a conventional battle? Exciting!
-
I’m unsure what you are referring to.

@barnee
Last time I saw an Air Battle, was in Global 1943, when Western Germany defended with 5 Me 262 Jetfighter units against 3 US Strategic Bombers and 6 US Fighters.The only surviving unit was 1 US Strategic Bomber - that made a Damage Hit at “1”.
Since then, all Allied Strategic Bombing Campaigns have stopped - unless there has been a unprotected Industrial Complex in range.
-
Epic!

@the-captain said in Global 1940 Expansions Game Report Thread:

:joy:
-
@the-captain Haha, I like how you tell the story as if it were a legend or something :joy: :joy:

JPN being pushed back
The Reich needs to retreat. 28 T-34s in moscow aint looking good for the Wehrmacht lol
We’ll see if the axis can get there shit together lol.
Oh yea, N Africa Allied controlled. Brits headed to russia now
-
I did the Air Battle anyway. Was Gonna retreat and still might but :) It was a Bloodbath. Luftwaffe sent 3 Ftrs 2 Tacs 3Bmbrs commies had 5 Ftrs, 1 was USA and 1 UK.
Combat only lasted 1 rd lol. 3 Bmbrs and a Tac made it through, Tac got shot down by AA. 18 Damage by Bmbrs lol
Russia has no Air Defense. Couple Allied Ftrs coming up, but Huge Victory for the Reich. 18 damage and they only got 27 bucks. Can’t even by tanks now, the commie bastards lol
-
5 Allied fighters overall, or 7 Allied fighters including US and UK?
-
It’s late 1945 and the War Rages On. The Wehrmacht made some small gains on the Eastern Front, only to be pushed back. They were able to hold onto W UKR in a disastrous soviet counterattack and bring up much needed reinforcements to concentrate for continuing offensive operations, as well as complete the Formation of a 2nd German Army Group.
A Strategic Bombing Raid caused significant damage to the moscow factory as well as destroying soviet fighter defense, albeit at heavy Luftwaffe losses. Allies are rushing Fighter reinforcements as a top priority to their distasteful communist allies.
The Kriegsmarine retreated to SZ 113, opening Denmark and Norway to invasion from UK LCVs, although both are well defended.
Western Europe continues to be traded in back and forth battles of attrition.It’s been mostly quiet in the Mediterranean Theatre, although S France has changed hands a few times and the USA was finally able to liberate Cyprus after a year from German Airborne defenders.
-
The soviets have continued to successfully push back German advances, except for there disastrous W UKR counterattack. UKR will most likely fall this year to Waffen Para attack or Mech Infantry driving through the minefields of W UKR.
The Red Air Force has suffered greatly and consists of a single Tac Bmbr. They must now rely on Allied Fighters to defend moscow. Stalin is both unhappy and distrustful of this development.
An Armored Commissar Corps made strong advances in Western China, until they overextended there lines of communication and were destroyed. They were able to liberate some of there flawed ideological brothers in the process, and with UK help, pushed JPN back in china as well as soviet Far East, mostly due to British help.
Strong Armored Forces and Allied help are keeping the Germans and JPN at bay for now.
